Meghan Markle's costar EVISCERATES the Royal Family

[...]

It’s all so true.

Oh, honey. You have to get up a lot earlier to break Meagan news on DL.

Hopefully when Broadway comes back, Mr. Adams will be on full naked display as was promised in the revival of "Take Me Out"!

The whole cottage industry of news, especially in the UK where there still exists quite a few newspapers and magazines, regarding the royal family is that they love to build them up, but the newsmen/women are so jealous of them, that they can't wait to get their claws into them and tear them apart.

Your Hollywood friends are the only family you need.

Piers is mad...

[quote]Patrick J Adams @halfadams: She fell in love, moved to a new country, became a household name across the entire globe and began the difficult work of trying to find her place in a family dynamic that can at best be described as complicated and at worst, seemingly archaic and toxic.

[quote]And then they welcomed Archie. And on any sort of decent planet that would be a time to stop sharpening the knives and let these two people enjoy the magical early months and years of starting a family. But we don’t live on that planet and instead the hunt continued.

[quote] It’s OBSCENE that the Royal Family, who’s newest member is currently GROWING INSIDE OF HER, is promoting and amplifying accusations of “bullying” against a woman who herself was basically forced to flea the UK in order protect her family and her own mental health.

[quote]IMO, this newest chapter and it’s timing is just another stunning example of the shamelessness of a institution that has outlived its relevance, is way overdrawn on credibility and apparently bankrupt of decency.

Forced to “flea”!

Wot?! She unleashed fleas on the UK?

[...]

He doesn't have an Emmy or even a Golden Globe!

Piers wishes he were a Peer.

"was", that is

I think I like this guy...

The American media will line up behind Meghan; the UK press behind the BRF. It's all tribal and has nothing to do with the truth. As soon as the Bullying Bomb dropped, you had to know the calls would go out to her Suits costars, her makeup artist, Omid the Bottomfeeder, her charities, etc., etc., etc.

The Palace plays a very long game. The interview will end, the flames will plume upward for a week or two - the investigation into Meghan's and Harry's behaviour, with receipts, will drop at a later time and just possibly with the victims filing suit.

Melissa Tabouti is probably writing a piece for the TIMES now, released from her NDA by the BRF.

The Harkles are fools. Their obsession with destroying the BRF is holding them back from structuring the lives in America they claimed to want.

They'll do damage, but it won't last and sooner or later the waters will recede and William and Kate will be Prince and Princess of Wales or King and Queen and the world will move on.

If anything in that investigation actually sticks to Meghan, she'll regret she didn't just focus on a brand for herself that detached her persona from that of the British royal family.

I agree with him. How dumb can the BRF be if they open an investigation into "bullying" the only mixed-race (and currently pregnant) member of a family that includes pedophile Andrew, Rottweiler Adulteress Camilla, "Whatever love is" Charles and that hateful Duchess of Kent woman. Not to mention the insufferable drunk Margaret.

Ever since the Diana days I thought the BRF were trailer-trash with money and titles, now I'm sure of it

The Sussexes were wise to get out. Once the Queen dies, no one will care anymore about the BRF.

[quote] hateful Duchess of Kent woman

Are you referring to Princess Micheal?

[...]

R17 - It is Princess Michael of Kent who is the hateful racist wicked bitch.

The Duchess of Kent is actually a very nice and very good woman.

Trailer trash? What possible meaning could that have that applies to the BRF?

Once the Queen dies, Meghan will be the King’s daughter-in-law. Then she’ll get you, my pretties.

[...]

R21 - did you read the article? Charles got involved.

Anyway, it's a moot point. Randy Andy is a blood relation and the Queen's favorite son so he gets a pass. Yeah, it's unfair but that's the way it works in the House of Windsor. Born Ins are protected, Married Ins are not. Diana and Fergie were both put out to pasture when they misbehaved and Meghan will too. Harry may be allowed back into the fold but I don't think Meghan will ever be trusted.

Even their ancestors, a thousand years ago, were not trailer trash. Trailer trash don’t command armies.

It isn't going to help Sparkle and Dimwit's cause to have their supporters diss the Royal family. Prince Philip is dying; the Queen is 94. To rake them over the coals is going to make Sparkle and Dimwit look even worse, if that's possible.

How are the BRF racist? True R28.

@r23, "Trailer trash? What possible meaning could that have that applies to the BRF? "

If you ever get to Buckingham Palace sneak over to the foundation and kick the gravel around a bit you'll find the whole place sits on a set of wheels

Ooh, I like this guy...

Does she have any A-list friends pre-Harry, or was it solid bottom barrel Canadian and cable network crap even my mom hasn't seen?

Why would that "actor guy" start this thread? he's getting hundreds of positive responses on his own

[quote]Yeah, it's unfair but that's the way it works in the House of Windsor. Born Ins are protected, Married Ins are not.

How are half-bloods treated?

^^ 1/4 bloods

That any asshole has more venom for this woman than that garbage family, is beyond me. She hasn't done a thing to get the reaction she has from psychos. A family who protects someone as despicable as Andrew (not to mention in the history of that family, they've protected other savages and treated Diana like shit) isn't worthy of any good press.

R34, he could also ask every one of his cousins. You know that they're all half-bloods, right?

I agree with R16. The American media, and Americans in general, also have famously short attention spans. Harry and Meghan will have to keep serving up the dish OR their audience will get bored and go on to the next big story. The Palace, meanwhile, will bide its time. People will eventually get bored with the Sussexes and their antics if they don't have anything new to say, and the older Harry and Megan get, the less interesting they will be.

The whore has nexflix deal, he's just begging for a job. The way he was begging for armie hammer's job on Twitter when he was dropped from movie projects.

Had Meghan and Harry stayed in the UK as working Royals, Archie would have been an English royal by birth and upbringing. Since they left and will raise him in California, he'll be American through and through. He'll never get a chance to know his royal relatives very well and will never really be one of them.

Another shameless actor, birds of a feather and all that...

LOL @R40 putting down someone who works for a living in defense of an existence based solely on coming out of a nutsack. You're putting down someone earning a living in favor of people whose entire accomplishment was being the splooge that assured you'd never actually have to work for a living and you can get away with being a sexual predator.

Who?

D-List army, ACTIVATE!

Yeah, has anybody thought about this guy in years? But now he's getting so much engagement on Twitter. Of course he's supporting her.

I’m so confused about how or what this TV show she supposedly was on, I’ve never heard of it or seen a commercial for it in my lifetime, it doesn’t seem to exist in my universe. It’s like that supposed Matt Boomer vehicle, which never crossed my radar either?

I watched the first two seasons of Suits in its original run. It was second rate. It was like they couldn't get the actors that they wanted, so they cast these third tier people.

R44–do you have access to USA Network?

I notice Adams didn't mention that archaic title and style of Her Royal Highness that his progressive co-star couldn't wait to attach herself to, and that she will only give up reluctantly to save face now that she's thoroughly monetised it.

I'm hoping for the announcement on the show that those two noble egalirarians are renouncing their titles, have written to the Queen to set the process in motion, that Harry is filing for American citizenship, and will also be requesting that Parliament remove him from the line of succession.

Camera pans to the Queen's, Charles', and William's relieved expressions.

"Thank God! Now one of us doesn't have to do it and take the racist bullshit blowback!"

I was always mixing up Suits with White Collar and Burn Notice. Generic guys-in-suits basic cable dramas.

The Simpsons has an accurate joke about how the USA Network’s existence has been faked for some years and no-one has actually seen any of the shows on it, including Suits and White Collar.

This “feud” is tedious. Yeah, I’m a Brit, but I’m not seeing where all this is coming from, except from a deliberate strategy whereby H&M temporarily boost their image Stateside by starting some kind of war with The Queen.

The North Americans are now falling into line with that plan and lining up behind Meghan and asserting how dreadful the U.K. and the British Royal Family are, blah blah. On what basis?

Someone asked above what has Meghan done to deserve the treatment she gets. Can anyone point me to the particularly bad treatment that she got? Really? If we are talking about the tabloids talking sh*t then they will do that to anyone associated with the Royals. If we mean the “bullying” accusations, that was only released because H&M are doing that super-tacky interview. If H&M think they can do and say what they want with no moves back, then it isn’t going to happen.

I’m not a particularly big fan of our Royals and think The Queen should be the last of them, but this seems like garbage all round.

R46 Never heard of it?

[quote] I agree with him. How dumb can the BRF be if they open an investigation into "bullying" the only mixed-race (and currently pregnant) member of a family

You're saying since she's mixed-race she gets to do whatever she wants, and no one should ever dare question her.

@r49, She's been raked over the coals for five years on everything she's done by your horrible tabloid press starting with the "straight out of Compton" crack right up to accusing her of putting the 99 year old fossil Phil in the hospital. Not only has the Royal Family not protected her there is mounting evidence that many of these stories originated from them

[quote]The North Americans are now falling into line with that plan and lining up behind Meghan and asserting how dreadful the U.K. and the British Royal Family are, blah blah.

I don't think many of us are. I'm sure D'Oprah would like to push that idea for ratings, but I think a lot of Americans have respect for the Queen just because she's been dedicated to her job for decades. Yes, she hasn't done a lot of things right, but you have to respect that she's been stalwart through the good times and the bad doing a job that really wasn't supposed to be hers. PLUS, people aren't liking that fact that Harry is being so nasty towards his granny. That doesn't set well with many Americans.

[quote] He'll never get a chance to know his royal relatives very well and will never really be one of them.

Oh well!

We choose things, and then we lose things!

So, it all was faked that she starred in a TV show?

It's hard to think of a celebrity whose moral opinion carries more weight than Patrick J. Adams.

I mean, maybe Ian Ziering, but I'd see them more as neck-and-neck. in this regard

Who was Markle supposed to be the poor man's version of?

Gabriel Macht was the poor man's Jon Hamm

Gina Torres was the poor man's Vanessa Williams

Sarah Rafferty was the poor man's Christina Hendricks

Is Patrick still going to show his schlong in that Broadway show? I wanna see it!!

Uk is already getting more and more irrelevant due to Brexit they’re making themselves more isolated

[quote] Who was Markle supposed to be the poor man's version of?

***ahem***

Poor man’s Alley McBeal or whatever character was played by Susan Dey?

Patrick has pretty eyes but a weak chin.

Weak chin, weak character as my grandmother always said.

I amazed that after the Queen was so gracious to entertain all of these people at the Harkle wedding that they would turn on her. No manners whatsoever.

I do not blame them at all for wanting to live their own lives. And no one should be subjected to racist or demeaning talk on social media or the press.

But what did she think she was getting into? She was a woman in her mid-thirties -- with her own career -- when she married him. Meghan Markle was nothing like the 19 year old Diana. She was educated and accomplished. She was no wilting violet to begin with.

But their "poor, poor, pitiful me!" show is a show. They went from the Palace to the most exclusive zip code in the USA....Undeserved privilege and unearned income no matter how you look at it! If they truly want a private life, stay private. Don't do interviews. They're sole reason for public interest is their royal status. And they're both giving the finger to his family.

What this should teach the British -- if they keep the monarchy -- is to scale it back drastically. Little Charlotte and Little Louis ought to get good educations, so they can get good jobs and become successful and productive, private citizens, who see their royal brother George and his eventual brood at Christmas, Easter, and other family holidays.

[quote]Little Charlotte and Little Louis ought to get good educations, so they can get good jobs and become successful and productive, private citizens

Screw you, mofo. I will be Queen when Georgie Porgie runs off with his hustler boyfriend.

R59, I voted Remain, and Brexit has caused & will cause a lot of pointless hassle re doing business in Europe that may have an effect on the economy, but the UK’s status internationally is probably not going to be much affected by leaving the EU.

Ok R52, I take your point on the Compton article which was by The Daily Mail I see, and I agree it’s racist. The DM are pieces of shit a lot of the time.

I do think Meghan & Harry’s, “we want to live private lives, but in LA, and leverage the royal connection for Meghan’s acting roles and Oprah Winfrey interviews” attitude has been the driving force behind most of the more recent negative press coverage though. It seems like a game, and if it is being played then the other players will engage, and not just allow a walkover.

I remember when Meghan and Harry announced their engagement 3-4 years ago, there were many on DL who predicted that they would eventually relocate to SoCal. I didn't believe it at the time, because I figured they would remain in the UK, like the rest of the royal family. How did y'all know that would happen? Frankly, I'm amazed.

^^ You're right, I was one of those people who thought they'd move to LA. Harry has always wanted out and Markle was his ticket.

@r65, "But what did she think she was getting into? " Perhaps Harry wasn't completely honest with her and didn't want to scare her off.

@r68, "“we want to live private lives" That doesn't mean they wanted to live as hermits, privacy just means control over what's made public. Just because you're a public figure doesn't mean every aspect of your life needs to be an open book 24/7

The world is being pretty hard on Markle and pretty easy on Harry. I think Harry bears a lot of responsibility for not preparing Markle for life as a royal

R69 Most of us know a grifting gold digger when we see one. She’s about as basic and predictable as they come.

Next prediction: when they divorce, she’ll insinuate that he was abusive i.e. “I started to fear for my safety and the safety of my children. I had to put my mental health first.”

R70 If they really wanted a private life, they’d give up their titles and any support from the BRF, direct and direct. But I see they relish being called the Duke and Duchess. Harry had enough money from his inheritance to start anew, but they used and abused the BRF and British taxpayers to fund their shenanigans. Such utter hypocrites.

*direct and indirect

The half-in, half-out approach seems to be their defining principle. They want to be half-Royal and half-free, half-private and half-famous. They want all the good bits of any situation with none of the bad bits. When they can't make that happen, they whine and complain about poor treatment. But that's not how life works, even for the Queen herself.

[quote] He doesn't have an Emmy or even a Golden Globe!

And even worse, he will NEVER be named to the Order of the British Empire.

Never heard of this guy until today. Good luck, whoever you are.

[quote] Since they left and will raise him in California, he'll be American through and through. He'll never get a chance to know his royal relatives very well and will never really be one of them.

Archie would have been 5th or 6th in line for the throne. A second-tier royal. He will have a better life unencumbered by any duty to the BRF. He will get a chance to know his relatives. All this will blow over -- King Charles will make restoring the familial bond a priority.

It's hard to know any relatives who live 8000 miles away. At best he'll see them once or twice a year, and their culture will be alien to him. They might have polite relationships, but there is no way for them to be close. You also discount the fact that Meghan will not want Harry or her children to be close to the Windsors. That threatens her control.

R75 I thought Canadians, Aussies, and Kiwis re eligible for knighthood, because the Queen is still their head of state? New Zealander Kiri Te Kanawa was made a Dame.

[quote] The North Americans are now falling into line with that plan and lining up behind Meghan and asserting how dreadful the U.K. and the British Royal Family are, blah blah. On what basis?

A good feud helps the BRF maintain visibility and viability. But for Diana and all her drama no one in America would give a f*ck about the BRF.

R79, he is eligible, I guess. Sidney Poitier (the Bahamas) is a Knight Commander and ONJ (Australia) is a Dame Commander. It just won't happen for Piers.

It would not surprise me if Archie attended a UK boarding school.

This guy, whoever he is, better not think Markle is going to reward him with grace and favor (and work) because he defended her honor (such as it is). He doesn’t have anything she needs.

I feel sorry for the people who can’t recognize grifters like her. They probably belong to mega churches and MLMs and send gifts cards to people who claim to be from the IRS.

Are you kidding, R82? Archie and his sibling will go to Crossroads.

Meghan is a cunt and anyone who defends her is a dumb cunt

Olivia Newton John is English born and has a British knighthood. She came to Australia in her teens.

Titled honours were abolished in Australia in the 1970s and the very chill population is fine with that. The ultra-conservative blink-and-you’ll-miss-his-entire-term Tony Abbott briefly brought them back to much bewilderment from both sides of the political aisle. He knighted 2 male military leaders, 2 female governors and, erm, Prince Philip.

R85 Time to up your Ativan, Bodega cat

I’ve turned to vodka @R87

I don’t see how Harry abused the taxpayer for Frogmore. The Queen leased him a property that needed a new roof and general repairs, kind of a shitty wedding present if you ask me.

Who?

No one cares what some random D-list actor thinks. I doubt the brf cares.

[quote]How did y'all know that would happen? Frankly, I'm amazed.

There were obvious signs that Ginger and Megs were a train wreck in the making, that Megs was in it for what she could cage, in the engagement interview back in 2017 . Megs was in complete control, Ginger deferring to her and being overruled by her. At that point, I thought "I give them two years, max".

Megs controlling behavior worsened as they began appearing in public together in the UK before and soon after their wedding. Megs directing Ginger, her obvious displeasure and bridling at having to defer to Ginger and his family in public. And her petty public skirmishes with various members of the Royal family and the institution itself.

It was obvious that Megs never wanted a Royal life. What she wanted was the perks of that life. Once her "this isn't working for me" mumblings began, I knew then that she was out of there, and that Canada was a way-station on her way home to California.

Ginger and Megs are co-dependents on their train ride to Hell. In Megs, Ginger, ne'er-do-well, found a club to bludgeon his family with for perceived hurts and slights. In Ginger, Megs, narcissistic, ageing, D-list actress, found a club to bludgeon the world with for perceived hurts and slights.

Ginger and Megs are highly insecure children with a wide variety of mental issues. The on-going public attention simply fuels and exacerbates those issues.

In the end, I believe that both of them will either end their days in obscurity, locked away and forgotten. Or a spectacular double-suicide

Racism? The British love Shirley Bassey. Maybe it is just Meghan's behavior and personality that they hate.

Homophobia? The Americans just love Neil Patrick Harris!

[Quote]This guy, whoever he is, better not think Markle is going to reward him with grace and favor (and work) because he defended her honor (such as it is). He doesn’t have anything she needs.

Guess again. This guy is married to Troian Bellisario who is Donald Bellisario's daughter. He was the creator/producer of NCIS, Magnum PI and a bunch of other hit TV shows and a multi- millionaire many times over. Hollywood connections and money.

R94, shame it didn't net him fame. No one has ever heard of this idiot. But he's a member of Meg's golddigging army I see.

R91, I could actually see Harry being in real danger of self harm from this shitshow. Actually burning down his family's entire world and launching a global assault on his brother, father, grandmother and nieces and nephews might not feel as good as Meghan told him it would.

R95 If he got Australia and Canada behind him he might be able to overthrow the British Armed forces, especially with all his inside information as former military. Hopefully he laid in some rebellious sleeper agent cells amongst former war buddies he can activate and have them really do some internal damage and espionage. This is the kind of stuff that actually made BRF interesting back in the day! William is going to rue the day he didn’t do military service when Harry storms the castle and slaughters all his children in from of him.

R96, honestly, I would respect that more than a pissy PR temper tantrum.

R94 but even Troian Bellisario doesn’t appear able to get an acting job now, despite her connections and despite the fact she does have a small amount of talent, so query how far this guy is helped by that.

Trojan IS the new Tori Spelling!

[quote] William is going to rue the day he didn’t do military service

William did do military service, for over a decade. He went to Sandhurst after university, and then went on to spend years serving in the Royal Army, Royal Navy, and the Royal Air Force, primarily working as as an air ambulance pilot.

R94, to be fair, and generous, she isn't... conventionally pretty for an actress.

^^ They go together looks wise

Patrick J. Adams? Not THE Patrick J. Adams!?

One is quaking in one's exceptionally comfortable but highly expensive mid- heels!

Think about this: Harry Wales is Executive Producer of this Oprah interview.

R104 how do you mean?
